Flights to Berryville, Virginia from NT$12,175

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Berryville could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a great experience if you've got all the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Next, find room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and choose shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The secret is to be prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Berryville in a flash. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Have your boarding pass and ID at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
